    If you're here you're eating healthy. Depending on who's working, sometimes the food can take forever to get to you.

    Food was great I got an açai bowl. Amazing tasted good. The service was awesome and the environment…read morewas nice and calm.

    I'm extremely disappointed with how a scheduled pickup order was handled a few nights ago…read more I placed an order for my family and specifically chose a later pickup window of **5:50-6:00 PM** because I knew I wouldn't be able to arrive until around 5:55-6:00. I received both an email and text confirming the order and pickup time. I then received another text updating the expected ready time to **6:00-6:05 PM**. At **5:42 PM** I received another text, this one saying my order was already ready at least eight minutes before the pickup window I selected and 18+ minutes before the updated time I had been given just minutes earlier. Since I knew I couldn't arrive until around 5:55, I called and asked if the food could be remade so I wouldn't be bringing cold food home to my family. Instead of acknowledging the issue, the employee I spoke with repeatedly told me there was essentially nothing they could do. She initially offered to let me speak with a manager, then came back and told me I could not speak with him. She also suggested that in the future I should simply wait until later to place my order. That left me asking the obvious question: **What is the point of offering customers the ability to schedule a pickup time if the restaurant isn't going to honor it?** When I arrived, I spoke with the manager and explained everything again. His initial response was basically that "this is just how the system works." I showed him the confirmation email and text messages documenting the pickup times. He pointed out that the order was "only" ready eight minutes before the earliest part of my original window. I pointed out that it was also 18 minutes earlier than the updated time the restaurant itself had texted me. After quite a bit of back-and-forth, he finally agreed to have the food remade. Mistakes happen. An order being prepared too early by itself wouldn't have prompted me to write this review. What bothered me was the way the situation was handled afterward. Rather than simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, both the employee and manager initially acted as though the problem was mine for expecting the scheduled pickup time to mean something. We're fairly new customers, but my family has already eaten here three times in the past month. Unfortunately, after the way this was handled, I'm not sure we'll be back. Good customer service isn't about never making a mistake. It's about how you respond when one happens. This could have been resolved in 30 seconds with, "Sorry about that. We prepared it too early. We'll remake it for you." Instead, it became an unnecessarily frustrating experience.

    I always have a great experience at Sprouts! The store is consistently well-stocked with fresh,…read morehigh-quality items, and everything is clean, organized, and easy to find. The staff is friendly, helpful, and provides great customer service.

    (Re-posting because I apparently had the wrong address. I can only assume that Sprouts Corporate…read moredoesn't want review like these so they spiked it on a technicality. So I am reposting it for the Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Location. The good news for Sprouts is that I will NOT return to this location ever. Maybe the other locations are good/great so have at it there. Yes Yelp, it is an actual review from me. If I could give a 0, I would. This store has totally gone to, well you know what. One would expect that Sprouts would have high quality produce but that is not the case. Bags of lemons had visible mold so I reverted to individual lemons, many of which were clearly aging out. Bags of limes had darking skins and they also looked old. Spinach & Kale (lg) Bin Aug 1st dated looked terrible so I grabbed the Aug 5th batch. NO ROMAINE LETTUCE EXCEPT IN A BAG which forced me to go to Safeway where the Romaine was beautiful. I bought cherry tomatoes and only noticed that one of the stems was moldy AFTER I got home. On several occasions I had purchased tomatoes which went moldy after a short (1-2) days. The Cheese Counter is disorganized and full of off brands. And here I thought this was the Corporate Showcase Store. Well... As a long time Sprouts customer, it pains me to write this. Don't offer me anything. Fix the store. When Safeway has better lettuce than you do, there is a massive problem. Finally, about once a month there are these random 5 star review which imo are plants. WHO actually takes the time to write 5 star reviews for a grocery store? Think about it.

    This location was actually super quiet when I stopped by around 1 PM on a weekday, which made…read moreshopping really easy and stress-free. The store felt really spacious and clean too. There's mainly one aisle for the random fun finds like toys, kitchenware, and home stuff, but the freezer section had sooo many options. It's mostly self-checkout with one cashier at the front helping out. I didn't have a quarter for a cart, so I just tossed everything into my insulated bag while shopping and kept it open the whole time so it didn't look suspicious lol. And honestly... the internet was right. I managed to get at least a week's worth of snacks and lunch foods for under $50, which felt kind of unreal. I also did a little research beforehand on the cleaner ingredient options, and there were actually some really good finds. Plus there's plenty of parking outside, which is always a win.

    When this ALDI location opened up, I went with my wife for their grand opening. I now get weekly…read moreads for them, and while the doorbuster items are great, I rarely go for the deals as most items are less expensive at Fry's or Safeway. At the same time, this location is closer to me than my nearest Fry's or Safeway, and if I just need a particular item, I may still head over to ALDI. I was there this past week, when I needed a few canned goods quickly for a canned food drive at work as well as some milk for home. I got in and out very quickly. ALDI is known for everyday low prices on quality groceries and home goods. They have fresh meat and seafood, produce, pre-made deli items, baked goods, frozen treats, and more. You can order online for curbside pickup or grocery delivery. You can get a cart to use for a quarter and when you return it, you get your quarter back. They are open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. They accept payment through credit cards, cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless payment. You can learn more about this particular store at https://info.aldi.us/stores/l/az/phoenix/4553-e-cactus-road/fc34. The store isn't too big but they have the basics. Bring a reusable bag to use or be prepared to pay for plastic bags at the store. Unlike the shopping cart, you won't get money back when you're done using the bags; however, if you have a pet to pick up after, the bags could be useful. I do appreciate the wide aisles as it is easy to navigate other people if it happens to be busy on a given day. But I do recommend also checking out their shopping ads in advance (again in case there are items advertised as on sale or their door busters). While this isn't my usual shopping option, I would still occasionally find myself in ALDI for a pleasant experience.
